This privacy policy sets out how the Energy Kidz uses and protects any information collected when you use its website.

Energy Kidz is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Any information by which you can be identified when using this website will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

At Energy Kidz we respect the privacy of the children attending our clubs and the privacy of their parents or carers. The personal information that we collect about you and your child is used only to provide appropriate care for them, maintain our service to you, and communicate with you effectively. Our legal basis for processing the personal information relating to you and your child is so that we can fulfil our contract with you.

Any information that you provide is kept secure. Data that is no longer required is erased after you have informed us that your child has ceased attending our club.

We will use the contact details you give us to contact you via phone, text, email, social media, through our online booking system and post so that we can send you information about your child, our club and other relevant news, and so that we can communicate with you regarding payment of our fees.

We will only share personal information about you or your child with another organisation if we:

have a safeguarding concern about your child

are required to by government bodies or law enforcement agencies

engage a supplier to process data on our behalf

have obtained your prior permission.

You have the right to ask to see the data that we have about yourself or your child, and to ask for any errors to be corrected. We will respond to all such requests within one month. You can also ask for the data to be deleted, but note that:

we will not be able to continue to care for your child if we do not have sufficient information about them

even after your child has left our care, we have a statutory duty to retain some types of data for specific periods of time* so cannot delete everything immediately.

If you have a complaint about how we have kept your information secure, or how we have responded to a request to access, update or erase your data, you can refer us to the Information Commissionerâ€™s Office (ICO).

By agreeing to our Terms and Conditions you are giving permission for us to contact you regarding relevant matters.
